I _really_ don't think it's going to work at all. I know for a fact
that the Stealth 3D 2000 and 3D 2000 Pro (my card) only have VESA 1.2
compatibility. You have to get a driver for VESA 2.0 in DOS, and I
don't think changing operating systems will help. The VESA driver for
SVGALib doesn't work, probably for the same reason.

Being in a Feature Freeze (TM), I don't see support for any such older
cards coming anytime soon. :(
